Ron-
Reading your post had me exhale with some relief. It is great to know that you are a 9 year survivor! Fantastic! Like you, I was dx with stage 3 and 6/12 lymphs involved. I am happy to be approaching my 1 year of survivorship in Jan. Your story gives me hope!!
Janette-
I am a success story in progress. It is a scary thing not knowing what is in store. I agree with Ron -- sounds like stage 3 but whether a,b, or c depends on the type of tumor. Don't pay attention to the survival rate numbers. They are just numbers that cover a wide range of age groups, other health factors, etc. People are beating this disease every day! This is a fabulous message board for support and asking questions. Focus on the positive...My best to you and your mom!
